COUNTRY NOW GROWING LESS DEPENDENT ON N. Y. BANKING 4 1 r •n *, By GEORGE T. HfGHES. (Copyright, 1930. by Altoona Mirror.) WALL STREET, NEW YORK, June 7$.—An Irregular and uncertain down- ' Ward drift of prices characterized the ! more stock market today. Trading was as i the fuUlr( , llia ' n in tlie past when con- light as at any time in the recent past j fl . onled w j ln large-scale banking and By B. C. FORBES. Jim Brown of Louisville and Rogers Caldwell of Nashville, two of the south's most enterprising and progressive financiers, announce the wedding of interests which gives them control of southern banks and insurance companies having combined assets of $615,000,000. | This illustrates an inevitable—and i desirable—revolution now under way! throughout the country, a revolution which will tend to make every section independent of Wall Street in | and for the most part confined to I operators on the floor. The day's Industrial news was much mixed. From the steel trade reports were not encouraging. It was said that there would be another decrease in unfilled orders of the United States Steel corporation in the statement to " bfe released on June 10. showing conditions at the close of business on May 31, and it was added that operations j •were likely to be reduced in the near future. United States Steel was heavy but not weak. During the morning it sold a point or two under the preceding close. On the other hand operations . for the rise continued in Colorado fuel, •which sold at the best of the current movement. On Monday reports were revived of a combination between Republic Steel and Colorado Fuel, which reports have hitherto always been denied by the' Eaton interests. Today the story was that United States Steel •was interested in the property. However, that may be, the stock stood out as one of the few able to attract a t following in a market -of extreme dull- iinancing projects. ' McKeesport Tinplate was In demand for a time. Only last week the directors declared an extra dividend of 50 cents a share in addition to the regular quarterly of $1 a share, so that the yield at the present market is generous. McKeesport is doing a larger business now than a year ago. It is the second largest producer of tinplate In' the country, being exceeded only by United States Steel, and inasmuch as there are only 300,000 shares outstanding, the price responds to any substantial buying.

Twins, ITci/lT^c, Young Ani'r- Whenever any big amount of capital had to be raised in any part of the country, recourse was had to New York. The two main reasons for this were, first, that New York had almost a monopoly of the machinery and means for supplying funds in many-million quantities, and, second, that bankers in most other sections had neither sufficient money available for such purposes nor the facilities or experience to conduct the operation. Now huge financial institutions are being brought into being, usually through consolidation, in many parts of the continent. Not only so, but with the means has come the will to undertake financial deals on a scale never before contemplated. This creation of powerful financial institutions, and groups of institutions, is distinctly healthy, since it will enable the rest of the country to function more independently of Wall Street. The new condition is wholesome in Wall Street's own long-range interest. Nothing could be more undesirable from every point of view—industrial, financial, social, political—than the complete domination of banking and financing throughout every corner of the continent by Wall Street interests. It would breed acute discontent. It would militate against the springing up of financial giants throughout the land. It would not facHUate the soundest expansion of enterprise at points far distant from the financial metropolis. The whole economic ground-swell being towards bigness, there is not the slightest danger that the evolution which has set in will deprive the gigantic banking and investment organizations in Wall Street of a generous share of the total business. There will continue to be occasion for capital issues and other banking operations on a scale swlngable only by the strongest financial houses in New York. The Brown-Caldwell announcement, from Louisville, reads: "Rogers Caldwell, president of Caldwell & Co., Nashville investment bankers, and James B. Brown, president of the Banco-Kentucky company, announce that Banco-Kentucky has acquired a half interest jn Caldwell & Co., and that Rogers Caldwell .has acquired a substantial interest in Banco-Kentucky, creating a financial structure controlling banks and insurance companies with combined assets of $615,000.000. Thus is created one more banking giant outside of New York. i_ California has its Transamerica corporation, the child of A. P. Giannini, controlling resources of over $2,500,000,000. Chicago has its billion-dollar Continental Illinois bank and Mel Traylor's half-billion First National bank. Boston has its First National bank—Old Colony Trust group, with resources exceeding $875,000,000. Detroit has Its Detroit Bankers company which, with its affiliations approaches the billion-dollar class, and the metropolis of motordom also has the Guardian Detroit Union group of more than half-billion magnitude. Buffalo has its giant Marine Midland corporation. Minneapolis has its Northwest bank corporation, and its shares with St. Paul the first bank stock corporation, each near the half-billion class. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Syracuse, Tulsa, Seattle, Kansas City, Portland, Ore., Savanna. Georgia, are among other cities not possessing financial institutions of outstanding magnitude. The more self-sustaining every part of the country becomes financially, the sounder and swifter should be our national growth and progress. (Copyright, 1930, by B. C. Forbes.) DAY'S ACTIVITY IN GRAIN MARKET By GEORGE C. SCHNACK, (Copyright, 1930, by Altoona Mirror.) CHICAGO, June 3—An easy tone prevailed in today's quiet and uninteresting wheat market. Private crop reports had little influence on the trade. Weakness in Liverpool accounted for early selling and after a moderate decline there was some buying credited to Winnipeg account and influenced by reports of high winds causing deterioration in the Canadian crop. Corn held firm with the feature the covering of a good-sized line of short July corn by a local operator. Commission houses sold on the upturn and most of the advance was erased later. Oats were firm with corn. Buying was influenced by improved cash demand with shipping sales again over 100,000 bushels. Private crop estimates indicate a crop of 1,304,000,000 to 1,341,000,000 bushels and an acreage increase of from 2.5 to 3.6 per cent. Provisions were higher with hogs. Open. High. Low. Close.

Illh .\\e. and 13th St. Altoona ^f* SOME DEPRESSION ON BOND EXCHANGE By F. II. BICHARDS03V. (Copyright, 1930. by Altoona MirroV.) NEW YORK, June 3.—Though volume picked up a little in bond trading today, the domestic section had a sagging tendency, with much of the activity confined to foreign descriptions. There was a total of $38,850,000 of new flotations, the largest in any day for nearly two weeks, and this, had a depressing Influence. New issues included $14,040,000 Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific 4% per cent equipment trust certificates maturing from December 1930 to June 1945. Since there is a steady demand for such high-grade securities, the offering yields ranged from 3.50 to 4.60 per cent. Of the remainder $8.310,000 consisted of municipals put out at prices to yield 4.09 to 4.40 per cent. There was also a $5,000,000 city of Brisbane, Australia, offering of 6 per cents priced at 96%. High-grade bonds held well. Buying of Liberties pushed the first and fourth 414*3 up 3-32 and there was fractional improvement in Northern Pacific 4's, Great Northern 7's, Ches- peake & Ohio general 4%'s, Standard Oil of New York 4%'s, Standard Oil of New Jersey 5's, and Utah Power & Light 5's. Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron 6's featured the stock privilege section, dropping slightly In haavy turnover. Most convertibles were off in sympathy with the dull tone in stocks. FRENCH SPLENDORS PROTECTED BY LAW By JOHN WIIITK, Staff Correspondent. PARIS, June 3.—In tho confusion of falling governments, budgets and naval conferences, the French parliament has managed to pass a law which settles a controversy of many years' standing. That law dooms the billboard—dooms, in fact, tho indiscriminate building of anything that is not beautiful to look upon—by setting apart the scenic and natural splendors of France as forever immune from man's industrial progress. For years France has jealously guarded buildings known as "historical sites," forbidding even the owners the right to alter them, and forbidding the sale, except to the state, and at a price fixed by the state. But stretches of implanted terrain, fields, river banks, roadsides and the like did not come under the old law. Then came the post-war period of industrial expansion and certain evil features of the so-called "American influence." Factories sprang up along the banks of the principal rivers, chiefly the,Seine, which cuts squarely through tho capital and its contiguous industrial suburbs. Billboards and electric signs came to advertise the products thus produced. A few romanticists protested, but their voices were Unheard. Until someone suggested installing a huge hydro-electric plant on the historic promenade which skirts the Seine at Saint Germainen-Laye, hard by the no less historic Pavilion Henri IV. Then Frenchmen rose as one man and demanded that such a thing be made forever impossible. The new law provides for establishment of commissions in each department, with a "superior commission" in Paris, presided over by the minister of fine arts. Under its terms no person can excavate, build, destroy trees, or in any other way mar the natural aspect of his property with- o,ut submitting his plans to a committee of architects and obtaining their approval. Thus France Insures herself against the sacrifice on the altar of so-called progress of the heritage of generations. ORIENTALS BELIEVE AL CAPONNE RULES CHICAGO CHICAGO, June 3.—Although his recent travels have been limited to hurried trips to Chicago and Miami, with a brief sojourn in Philadelphia, 'Scarface Al' Capone is as well known in the orient as he is here, says Major General Milton J. Foreman, who has Just returned from a round-the-world trip. And although the Chicago racketeer Is accepted here as an unwelcome part of the city, his name causes little more of a flurry than does a wind storm on Michigan avenue, or a quick change of temperature.
